Completed a two year civil eng technician course working part time full time school and a single mom. Graduated 2011 an honours student and been working as a cad designer ever since. Put in the effort an do what works best for you and you will succeed no matter what.
Usually professors give lectures based on specifics books, so if you have the chance to get the name of the book you can search it up online and review it before class.
i'm too structural engineer with no experience but have suficient knowlege of Staad Pro. and MS office, can you suggest work from home jobs, freelancer job
Rule of thumb: One hour of lecture, you need to spend (at least) additional 3 hours of personal study time in order to get an A in any engineering courses.
Covid really screwed me school wise. I’m an opportunist and when the opportunity comes to cheat and get perfect grades I take them. I’m done not coming to campus this sucks.
I can't believe how similar our first few years of undergrad were. I would go to classes take notes and go home. Even when I did go to the library, I'd spend countless hours doing anything but study. Failed quite a few classes and basically lost a whole year repeating. I highly recommend getting a study group. It changed everything for me. Before, I'd spend hours stuck on one little step then give up and feel like I didn't learn anything. My biggest regret was not joining any clubs. I convinced myself to join geowall the last semester finally but covid hit and that went nowhere. Only took me like 3 years to realize that what I was doing in high school wasn't working. Getting away with the bare minimum.
same, still an undergrad for an associate's in eng. / physics after wasting 2 years of pooooor studying habits from high school and lack of motivation. Covid revealed how bad I study, like depending on my classmates to know the answers on the quiz I didn't study for when our professor graciously gave open exams or quizzes, to name one. Getting away w/ the bare minimum will catch up and ruin you. I'm glad it did for me sooner than later still in prereqs. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone =)
Great tips here. I can attest to reading the material before class. I dropped a chemistry class because I was heavily confused and didn’t take it seriously. Next semester I came back with a vengeance. I read the chapter BEFORE class, utilized the time I had to soak it in before lecture. I was one of the few students that could stay engaged with the professor. Finished chemistry with an A, which I’m really proud of because when I dropped it I felt defeated and hopeless. So my advice to people looking to succeed, utilize your time before the class to familiarize yourself with the concepts before lecture. Also, don’t just see it as a class you have to pass. Treat it as material that you want to learn so that you can be better in your desired field. You want to be a specialist in your field not just an employee. Remember you could just be a burger flipper (no disrespect if that’s what you want to do) but you’re learning specialized material, be happy about it and embrace it.
I worked at a structural engineering firm for 2 years before I started college, and it helped a ton. I knew what all the engineering terms meant, and I was familiar with doing structural calculations, and I was familiar with building code. As I am working through college, my engineering job and my classes are helping to build on each other.
Watching this video was like staring into a mirror. I made the exact same mistakes and it cost me two years. I knew I loved the field and this is what I wanted to do but lacked the tools to get there. Took a year to figure it out for myself and now I am 3rd/4th year. Figuring out how to study correctly has been the biggest factor in my recent academic success and now loving every second of it. Moving from rock bottom of my class to the top shows what finding what works can do for you. Been studying a 4 year BEng Civil degree for 5 years now and will end up finishing it in 6 years total. Not caring about how well you do relatively to other students helps you to focus on yourself and achieving your goals no matter how long it takes.
2nd year Civil Engineering student here in University of Cape Town.Your video is so insightful,I was struggling with Mechanics Of Material/Continuum but after watching your video my class record went up to 94.45%
Hi, i'm from Poland. I am a first-year student of civil engineering. This field of study is very difficult, but after doing the project for many hours, there is a lot of satisfaction . I'm very glad that i find this channel,because you give me a lot of inspiration.
i am first gen college student with blue collar family. i’m graduating in December with civil and want to go structural so this all is helping more than you know.
I accidentally watched one of your video few minutes ago, and I ended up watching this one too. And guess what, after watching those two videos, it made me realize a lot of things. I am now in my junior year as a civil engineering student, and because of this pandemic my once burning passion for this profession slowly fades. But, thanks to you and your videos. You lit the dying passion of mine. I am now fired up to finish all my battles and ready to face those coming.
Same here, this semester was a wash and I thought it was because lectures sucked but no, college is just not high school you learn from the text book and the professor is there to answer questions and clarify for the harder concepts.
My math teacher for vector analysis gave us all of the class notes for the whole semester in advance. Sometimes as many as 18 pages for a single topic, with worked examples. We also got the corresponding reading assigments in the text. Very helpful. Never felt lost in class, as a result, whereas, without the notes, I'm sure I would have felt lost at times. Having the notes in advance frees you up to listen and understand concepts rather than writing furiously while the teacher is speaking. Less anxiety about missing something important.
Did you kill mechanics of material?😂😂you’re probably in your last year now. I literally wrote my exam last week(31st May 2023)on Mechanics of Material😂
So much wisdom in this video. Save it, young ones. I would also add that PRACTICE is more important than studying in the engineering. Reading the material in the book doesn't make it all click nearly as well as doing practice problems. Also, it's a good learning exercise to make sure that you can explain what's happening at a conceptual level when performing computations, as opposed to simply relying on equations. And you didn't "lose" a year. You either win or you LEARN. Setbacks hurt, but look how much you learned from the experience ;-)
Hi, final year civil engineer student here. While in university, I felt myself regressing. I still remembered how I'm full of curiosity while first attending class, but now I feel like I had lost my passion. I even had a nausea everytime I'm studying. I'm feeling that I haven't studied anything, and I feel miserable and depressed (but not suicidal yet). Well, it's my last semester so I'll just keep pushing. But the problem is I feel like I haven't studied anything at all. If you know what kind of feeling is that and how to fix it, please tell me.
Oh man. I definitely feel that. It feels like if I gave up at that point, I'd have lost 5 years. And that wasn't an option. I highly recommend finding a study group. That was difficult for me since I was really quiet and shy. And basically was by myself the first 4 years.idk what I was thinking. But I realized that I'm not the only one going through it. Better late than never. Even if it took me an additional year or 2 to finish, that would be a huge accomplishment. And it is.
You’re gonna feel like you never got anything out of college. But once you start to work in your field in Civil Engineering and everything you studied will just come back in a flash. If you do forget a couple topics, re learning would be very much easier.
Saaame dude... was always a loner but a dude that I started helping this semester in steel class sent me the announce for it. He knew I was looking like crazy for anything working with structures. God bless him. I would've never found it since I don't have social media accounts.
This mindset and insight might have given me q better experience and I wouldn't have gone through getting my masters in structural and then bailing on the field from fatigue.
Mechanical Engineer here about to finish freshman year. Super helpful video man and will definitely take the tips on internships and joining engineer societies
Thanks for another great video Mat! I was a below average student, and totally agree with your recommendations. Now, 10+ years into my career, I'm spending a lot of time studying and making up some ground. Keep up the good work!
Currently on my third year CE right now, covid happened on my last sem of 2nd year and it really did a lot of damage on my studying. Both students and teachers weren't prepared for the onlice learning, example is the first sem of third year with TOS, we passed because the teacher lacked any resource for grading, and we missed a ton of lectures. Right now I'm making up some of the lessons by studying by myself, a bit hard but thanks for the amazing video.
Great video, starting civil engineering this fall and I specifically picked a school where you get 12-16 months of co-op job experience with your degree
I am transferring to Cal Poly Pomona for General Civil Engineering. I want to focus in structural engineering, pretty much follow the same path and transfer for my Masters. One recommendation was to do more design courses. It looks like I have the option to pick three electives. Would it be better to take classes specifically for structural or try to stay well rounded and pick electives from other aspects of civil engineering? Option 1 [(Structural Analysis II w/lab) + (Structural Design: (Timber w/lab) + (Steel/w lab))] Option 2 [(Architectural Engineering Interdisciplinary Design: (Precast Concrete w/lab) + (Timber w/lab))+(Intro to Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics)] Option 3 [Sustainable Buildings and Infrastructure + Construction Scheduling + Virtual Design Construction Management-BIM w/lab] Here are the options im considering, without being in the field im not sure which electives will better prepare me for a career/licensing exams.
Please make a books recommendation video for civil engineering (For all the subjects). Would be very interesting to know what kind of books does an american university offer.
Hola, te sigo desde hace poco, aunque no manejo muy bien el Inglés, trato de entender lo que dices. Recién me gradué de Ingeniería Civil y estoy buscando trabajo. Gracias por tus videos💪
Hello sir! I dreamt to become a civil engineer one day, that's why I'm here now in this so cool youtube channel, hoping that you could help me by sharing your experiences as a civil engineer.💌
For those who say the best way to learn is to teach others is only partially true. I have learned quiet well the last 2 years in my college by being able to teach myself by simply trying to understand the material first and then ask questions of what could be important about the stuff I learned. Also, it’s important to do the hw questions or at least find another resource to really test yourself prior to quizzes and exams. So far, it’s been working for me, but maybe it’s preferential and more the way my brain works.
Well. I feel like you're reciting my story. Even I did the same. Didn't get a single reply from the companies. So, got an internship first while managing my grad school side by side.
thank you thank you thank you! needed this, because I realized all these regrets are what I am going thru which demoralizes myself when I'm in school...... will change for the better asap :)))
Thanks a lot ur video is really helpful. I have taken just one semester in Engineering course. I have another problem too, whenever I try to participate there would always be those colleges who are showing off with higher voices and kinda hyper active and always think loudly, acting like the professors are their best friends. But I don't do that and when I do I can't focus or enjoy it, although I understand the topics and my scores are quite higher than them but still like I am invesible. Unfortnately I don't get the highest grades either so that's why I can't show my existence. I don't know what to do :(
Ya or you could use the brute force method. I didn't use study groups or office hours etc. I just studied 16+ hours a day. Several times I was awake for 36 hours straight studying. I also remember a time when I slept one hour a night, each night, for three weeks in a row. I never cheated or got help from anyone, like other students, but it made my 4.0 GPA real, and I was easily much smarter than other high-gpa students that found ways to boost their gpa for less effort. Now at my job, I can learn and understand stuff much faster than anyone else. It is easy, and I don't have to abuse my body now.
Just got my advanced diploma for civil engineering. I’m still looking for a job at the moment. I’m not sure if I should go to a university to do another four years or find a job.
So I'm now in second year Electrical engineering and I failed my math class , well dropping out was my go to solution, until I came on TH-cam 🙁 I'm definitely not alone.
I’m starting into civil engineering in august and I’m already looking for work now I already have plenty of cad experience and I’m an industry professional I’m looking now but it’s hard
As a civil structural engineer, should I be looking for firms that act as solely as structural engineers, or architectural firms? I want to design building structures and graduate next spring.
I want to know about Phd in structural engineering .Is it worth it and what are the job options afterwards , would love it if you cover this up in some video
If you can afford it, get a tutor ASAP. I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough. I got more out of the 4sessions with my tutor than 10-12weeks of lectures.
Hey...! Excellent videos. Can you make a video describing the future of structural engineering and data science. Almost every institution has started combined coursework based on structural engineering and data science. So, what's the future?

As a Civil and Mechanical engineer with 30 years of experience and now as a Structural Design professor I do agree with you.
As semesters passed I just fell in love with civil engineering. And now am truly happy that I am a civil engineer. 😌

@@zdvxgfthere are, but they are done by computers. So in theory yes and thats why you need to lean them, but practically no

This is exactly what happened to me. Started getting As my last semester because I figured out what he was saying just then
Thank you so much for this light beaming video!!
Keep up your videos mat i love them so much 😉
Love your videos, bless you and thank you!
Thanks Abi!
practical is such a practical word for civil engineers ;)
Too late I'm blaming my teacher for the crap grades I got in college😂
I'm starting uni for civil engineering this year so I'll use the tips then
Well, guess better late than never then. 🤟 Best of luck in university mate!
I'm a college graduate in Structural Engineering. Wish I done better at school.
I am also a civil engineering student of 4th year
Thanks this was a very useful video
I failed my Statics and am currently studying it now 😅😅😅😅😅
So I'm now in second year Electrical engineering and I failed my math class , well dropping out was my go to solution, until
I came on TH-cam 🙁 I'm definitely not alone.
same im retaking in the fall
This is such useful information 👌
Hi your channel is awesome.
I’m starting into civil engineering in august and I’m already looking for work now I already have plenty of cad experience and I’m an industry professional I’m looking now but it’s hard
thanks for your tips
As a civil structural engineer, should I be looking for firms that act as solely as structural engineers, or architectural firms? I want to design building structures and graduate next spring.
Thank you for the video I'm preparing for a master degree in structure
Thank u for the video
Thanks, so helpfull
I want to know about Phd in structural engineering .Is it worth it and what are the job options afterwards , would love it if you cover this up in some video
My biggest regret is studying civil engineering at all lmao
why
Yeah mine also
Same
Couldn't agree with you moreee😭
😩 so true. They never said it gonna be fun. U and me and the coloum are no different
I think this is the question that all of us needs to know.
Does civil engineering needs math.
Please answer.
How many courses did you take a time while implementing your new study habits ?
Sir can i ask?
Cam you give me a tip on how to catch up faster on how to operate structural software analysis?
If you can afford it, get a tutor ASAP. I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough. I got more out of the 4sessions with my tutor than 10-12weeks of lectures.
just watched some of ur videos and loved it. And i'm very eager about ur age
Wait.. Is that all might I am seeing in the background?
If you're planning for this hard studies then You should know how to study
For instance I recommend 'Barbara Oakley's learning how to learn
Thanks for the recommendation!
Pleasure is all mine
And love your content ❤️
Idol ano Gamit mong Design Software?
taking the PE in a couple weeks. love your content mat. thanks.
Good luck, you got it! Taking my SE exam as well
Shout out who is structure engineer !! People don't understand our value as it person !!
I'm not good at math at all can I be successful on civil engineering?
Hey...!
Excellent videos.
Can you make a video describing the future of structural engineering and data science. Almost every institution has started combined coursework based on structural engineering and data science. So, what's the future?
